I have a friend (possibly my best friend) who's living very far away from her home country (Spain), and finally decided to publish a blog… and she's doing it — probably at the advice of her local IT support — in Substack.

I know that if she were aware of the implications of being on Substack she would not be there, but I also know that moving will be daunting for her if not provided with a good solution.

Is there anything really user friendly that she could migrate to? I have heard many things about Ghost, but it would need to be something not self-hosted, and also not paid, or with a very small payment amount…

Yesterday was Halloween, today is All Saints Day, and tomorrow is All Souls Day - the Day of the Dead. In honour of all three, here is Franz Sedlacek's 1933 painting 'Ghosts in the Tree', which I came across last autumn, in Vienna. It could as well be a commentary on the politics of our day, as of his.

Painting of a bare tree, with skeletons, dressed in black rags, sitting along the branches, looking like a flock of crows.

Terry is dealing with a breakup when the stunning Patricia comes into his life. Just as things are getting more serious, he finds out she's a ghost!

Read the Halloween themed erotic romance, When The Spirit Moves Me, today: https://books2read.com/b/m2kJ6O

Promo graphic featuring the cover for When The Spirit Moves me by Ash Hollerin. The cover has a ghostly woman with a flower crown and a veil. Text: Terry falls hard for the beautiful Patricia but everything is not as it seems! Erotic romance featuring Human / Ghost relationship! Just in time for Halloween! Background image is by Coombesy. It features a backstreet with trees lit by a single streetlamp. The photo has been recolored to a purple hue.

You can now have Fediverse compatiblity on self-hosted Ghost-powered blogs. There are two different ways of doing this:

- Install your Ghost blog using Docker, more info at https://docs.ghost.org/install/docker and see the section on at https://docs.ghost.org/install/docker#enabling-social-web-activitypub. There are no limits on this option.

- Use ghost.org's ActivityPub service, but this has limits for self-hosters of 2000 follows, 2000 followers and 100 interactions per day (more info at https://docs.ghost.org/hosting#hosted-activitypub-usage-limits).

People, please don't use

Please use
https://ghost.org

You can let your site be hosted by Ghost or even better..

..self-host!

Setting up a site is super easy and you can even use membership features like I do here: https://stux.me/membership/

For every platform with a shady CEO there is a self-hosted alternative that is waaay better

FTW!
